CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTION
HEAT SWITCH
This rocker switch in the “ON” position energizes the heating elements in the bottom of the kettle.
MOTOR SWITCH
With this rocker switch in the “ON” position, the agitator motor will run continuously.
PRALINATOR/CORN TREAT SWITCH
This rocker switch in the Pralinator position and the motor switch off will run the agitator motor 55 seconds
of every minute. In the Corn Treat position, the agitator motor will run 15 seconds of every minute.
HEAT CONTROL
The machine comes from the factory preset at either 280°F for Corn Treat Centers or 310°F for Pralinators.
If more or less heat is required, remove the silver hole plug or cover plate located on the front panel of the
control box. This will allow you to access the heat control adjustment potentiometer. Turn the
potentiometer clockwise to increase the temperature.
To calibrate the heat control for corn treat, Fill the mixing bowl with a one inch depth of corn oil. Use an
accurate thermometer to measure the temperature of the oil in the mixing bowl. Stir the oil while it heats.
When the oil reaches 280°F slowly turn the potentiometer counter clockwise until the buzzer sounds. If the
buzzer sounds before the temperature reaches 280°F turn the potentiometer clockwise until the buzzer
stops and continue to turn an additional 1/8 of turn.
To calibrate the digital control for Pralinator follow the above instructions except use a final oil temperature
of 310°F.
Note: The sound of the buzzer always signals temperature cut-off.
CARE AND CLEANING
STEAM CLEANING
The easiest way to clean the kettle is to pour 8 ounces of water into the kettle while it is still hot. Place the
lid back on the kettle. Let it steam for approximately ten minutes. Remove the lid and dump out the water.
You will probably have to steam the kettle twice to remove all traces of product. Releasing the draw latch
makes the mixing drum easy to remove for cleaning. The mixing drum can be taken to the sink to clean.
The cabinet of your machine should be wiped cleaned daily; or more, depending on your usage.
